Listener comments!

  Wed. 11/19/08 3:05pm Cecile:

First comment!

oow ooh
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:07pm bzul:

oow ooh, child, things are gonna get easier..
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:09pm Cecile:

I think any Beatles song is improved by Singing Dogs. There I said that.
Except for maybe Hey Bulldog, which is about dogs. And I love.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:10pm AnAnonymousParty:

What stipulations must be observed with regards to posting comments this week?
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:11pm Cecile:

And I cannot listen to Magical Mystery Tour without twitching as it was one of four eight tracks on the overnight shift at the Big Boy I worked at in 1979. The other three were Blind Faith, ELO's Eldorado, and New England's self titled release.

I cannot hear any MMT song without burning fat caressing my nostrils. We had to clean out the chicken fryer on our shift.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:12pm Joe:

They all must be Beatles lyrics, or anagrams of Beatles lyrics.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:12pm RSTVMO:

Last comment, whoo hoo!
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm Graeme:

I worked in an HMV shop in the UK that would only play Tina Turner and Jive Bunny on rotation
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm Oatman:

Speaking of Stairway to Stardom,

  Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm zAzO:

oh this poor kid.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:13pm Cecile:

now those of us who missed it, what happened this AM? Is that OK to ask?
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:14pm Bad Ronald:

Anyone know why Ken killed the comments?
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:15pm Graeme:

If this was slower it would be a great Smog track
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:16pm Parq:

Any Billy Joel song in any form is painful, but all was forgiven when I saw CaMp CoMbo lined up for the next slot.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:16pm gumby:

Irwin thank you for making me feel like the greatest parent alive, because I do not do to my kids what Mr. & Mrs. Byas did.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:17pm Cecile:

hey, can we get a little 3rd Man Theme here? I'm in the mood for zithers suddenly.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:19pm Denise in Washington, DC:

I love Don Brockway's description of Judson Fountain as "the Ed Wood Jr. of Radio."
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:21pm Oatman:

Always love to hear the amazing Fay Lovsky.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:28pm Oatman:

While I'm not a completist, I think it's imperative I buy every album by Scala in the near future.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:32pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Maybe we can get whoever designed the logo for "A Day Without Gays" to do a logo for "A Day Without Billy Joel." The event clearly needs branding.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:35pm Ike:

Cecile and BR, I am wondering that too. I was doing actual work for a few minutes and then suddenly POOF.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:36pm Bad Ronald:

I think there were too many trolls.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:38pm Cecile:

Ike, I came in to no comments, and usually Ken's show has one of the busiest ones of the week. I figured something happened like Bad Ron said.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:39pm AnAnonymousParty:

"So easy, even Billy Joel can do it".
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:43pm Joe:

I started spamming for tallmingle.com.


Sorry guys.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:47pm Cecile:

wow, this joan marie polo is kind of wild.
what's the history behind this?
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:52pm Cecile:

she has a myspace page, but it's blocked to me...

nothing else, though.

  Wed. 11/19/08 3:52pm Oatmanmanman:

Joan Marie Polo (JMP) is a project that began in 1994 with two 12 year olds from Phoenix, AZ. Those interested in examining formulas for pop music have a lot to learn from JMP as they take listeners on a journey of nostalgia, presenting skewed notions of pop music as it is understood by two pre-teens with a flair for 90's rock.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:54pm Cecile:

helpful, I did google that before I asked Irwin.

thanks oatman.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:54pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Gotta love that site, though, helpful.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:54pm AnAnonymousParty:

"100,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong".
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:55pm Cecile:

I'll keep my questions to myself, thanks.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:56pm Irwin:

Sorry, Cecile. Me meants to nice you. Can you nice me back?
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:57pm Denise in Washington, DC:

No disrespect to you meant, Cecile. I'd just never seen "letmegooglethatforyou.com" before.
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:58pm helpful:

once again my attempt at humor backfires. i can't win

"Questions are a burden to others. Answers are a burden to one's self"
  Wed. 11/19/08 3:59pm Cecile:

No, I didn't either.
Normally, I'd be laughing. I'll have to remember that one.

Sure, Irwin. I'll nice you back if you play me some of the be-bop.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:00pm Cecile:

I'm breathing out Thai noodles, and I don't think that's the answer. Ulk.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:01pm AnAnonymousParty:

Chamber Brothers drummer? Down the hall, to the left.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:01pm GP:

Just typing back in after the Ken lockdown.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:02pm ebba ebba:

Good Afternoon Music !
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:04pm Ike:

GP, one has to wonder: Did the math questions fail, or what?
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:04pm Parq:

I remember the Chambers Brothers' father in a radio commercial for razors, or shaving cream or something. AM radio in the 60s was kinda like that.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:06pm GP:

I don't know but that was weird..but you could kind of see it coming..the comments kept getting more random and probably abusive + Ken was sick with the flu or something...not a good combo...we will have a mystery until next week.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:07pm kay:

Have you seen my serene?
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:08pm Cecile:

Parq, I don't remember many 60s radio ads, but one I love is that Shadows of Knight potato chip ad on I think Pebbles Vol. 1.

Also, the "youth and experience" campaign ad...
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:09pm Irwin:

Carefill. Sumtimes Ken has a tuf.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:09pm kay:

...through the eye of a lens, I mean.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:10pm Cecile:

if he haz the tuf flu, it's not fun. My experientz.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:11pm RSTVMO:

Hi, room!
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:11pm bzul:

I realized the other night that I still remember the whole Essem franks jingle. Why is that? Guy with the guitar...regional NE thing?
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:11pm GP:

Thanks Irwin for the Bobby Bare.

" . . . before Satan blocks the kick . . . "
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Holy crap. Despite its status as a cultural touchstone, I don't think I've ever actually *heard* "Dropkick Me, Jesus" before.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm gumby:

WWJDK - what would Jesus drop kick?
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm Swami:

That was not me. Breathe as you wish. Just don't stop.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:12pm Cecile:

gumby, Jesus would take the onside kick
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:13pm Cecile:

at least my Jesus would. He's a risk taker.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm GP:

Gumby..LOL *snort* Comment of the day to you oh bendy green one.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm Neil in East London, UK:

Excellent to hear both The Chambers Brothers & our very own The Clientele
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:14pm bzul:

I heard the song too too much many and too loud from too much many drunk Iowans many years ago.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:16pm RSTVMO:

ROTFLMA
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:17pm gumby:

GP
I'm going to use that on the next bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses at my door.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:23pm Cecile:

thank you Irwin.
I will put hat on the list of places i must visit when I finally make it to NYC.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:34pm Now there is a voice for a newspaper:

I think Jandek is Harrys son....Harry's music is awesome, but OY that voice.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:39pm Denise in Washington, DC:

Harry Partch? I was actually doing work, and stopped to listen because I thought it was Judson Fountain.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:47pm GP:

Interesting? Got this by misspelling Partch on the Goog:
Harry Patch, at 110 is Britain's last surviving veteran of the First World War trenches.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:47pm rebeccaschmoyer:

Thanks for playing the Partch! I'm playing this Sunday in the Partch ensemble this Sunday. You're awesome.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:49pm Bad Ronald:

Irwin is so nice he farts butterflys.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:50pm GP:

Bad Ronald....Harry Patch might be a good band name. I'm just sayin.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:51pm Bad Ronald:

yeah, like Harry Patch and the Straight-Razors.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:51pm RSTVMO:

Big 3 Bailout.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:52pm rebecca:

oops I did not edit my previous post very well, sorry.

More info on Sunday and an upcoming Partch ensemble concert in December can be located at Dean Drummond's website
www.deandrummond.com

band name? you mean like Henry Cowell
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:53pm Cecile:

Nice thought, Denise: "Harry Partch is the Judson Fountain of microtonal outsider composers". Or is Judson Fountain the "Harry Partch of drammer"?
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:53pm Bad Ronald:

I like Jesus Christ and the Cruel Nails.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:54pm RSTVMO:

Yes, Henry Cowl. The Parqs. Insect Trust. You know, The Big Three.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:55pm Bad Ronald:

The Parqs - "Get Parqed"!
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:56pm Bad Ronald:

this Peas tune matches my smoking jacket.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm Parq:

Oh man, OPI, I had forgotten all about Three Peas in a Podd. Boy does that just take ya back!
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm AnAnonymousParty:

The rest of the band is holding the trumpet player back.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm GP:

I'm out of here until tomorrow.
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:57pm Cecile:

"Macarthur Parq"
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:58pm Bad Ronald:

laterz...
  Wed. 11/19/08 4:59pm AnAnonymousParty:

The singer also seems to be using a 43 note octave.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:00pm bzul:

Was it JC and the Bent Nails while he was still workin' in pop's small town shop?

And The Pahqs? I sawr 'em in the Boston Gahden, where the Celtics play on that Pahquet flooah.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:01pm Bad Ronald:

"Parqing on heaven's Door"
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:05pm bzul:

Man, when they get hot, they really get Parqolating...
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:07pm Cecile:

The Rain, The Parq and Everything.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:08pm bzul:

Parqtic Monkeys!
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:08pm AnAnonymousParty:

Isn't WFMU near Asbury Parq?
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:09pm bzul:

I think it's on the Parq Side of the Moon.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:12pm Joe:

It's not news: It's Parq.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:12pm Bad Ronald:

"Electric Parqenstein"
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:19pm Not Parq, no really:

Ah, the Mitch Mitchell set. Maybe he'll play "Parqsis Bold as Love".
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:20pm AnAnonymousParty:

If parq wa qrap.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:21pm Cecile:

this is awesome commentary, Irwin.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:21pm Lizardner Dave:

It's not butter, it's Parquay?
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:27pm ted:

Don't look at this jazz band playing Jimi!

http://ukulelecabaret.com/index.php?player=khabu&clip=loveorconfusion
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:37pm jan:

swell hearing Jimmy. Heard a sample of Jimmy a few weeks ago and dug
out my Expeience LPs for a listen. Then Mitch dies.
  Wed. 11/19/08 5:43pm Denise in Washington, DC:

I was shutting down my computer to leave the office, but when I saw Irwin was playing the Ms and the Ps, I had to bring the stream up again.
